I’m happy for the Jays, but it takes away from the enjoyment of the win when the win is tainted.

I might even give them 2 challenges. And make a booth on the field. I’m afraid one of those guys is going to have a heart attack running inside to watch the replay.

Escobar’s phantom tag would be a classic example to be challenged. And really, would one challenge opportunity per game really slow things down, or hurt the reputation of the umpires?

Joey Votto who was born and raised in Toronto, hit a 3 run homer for the Reds. Russel Martin, who was also born in Toronto (raised in Montreal) hit a solo homer for the Yankees.

The second base ump certainly blew the call at second because he was in a bad position to see the “tag”. On the other hand, the next batter hit a hard line drive right at Escobar and if there had been a runner at second, there was a good probability that he would have been doubled off.

For the Mets, there was a fine pitching job by Hefner who had to replace Batista in the third inning. He had just been called up from Triple A and pitched 5 solid innings even if he gave up both runs.
